CLINT BOWYER QUOTES
What makes Phoenix so racy?
“It’s just the right size. Aero is definitely a big part of it but not as much as getting into the corner at 200 mph at a race track like Texas or Atlanta. You have to have your car turning good in the center of the corner but, then again, you have to drive the wheels off of it, too. Another thing I like about Phoenix, and race tracks that are like it, are the differences between the corners. Turns 1 and 2 are tight and turns 3 and 4 are long and sweeping. You’re not going to find a perfect setup and go out there and wax everybody. You have to carry the car in one corner to be good in the other. You have to find a happy medium, so it’s up to you. You have a little more control over your destiny at a track like Phoenix.”
